Cloudera Launches Anywhere Cloud to Scale Enterprise AI Across Multi-Cloud and On-Premises Environments
The platform is being showcased at LEAP, Hall 3, Booth B50, and is designed to operate independently or complement existing large-scale data lakes. Cloudera Anywhere Cloud provides a unified cloud experience across environments, regardless of where enterprise data resides.
Cloudera, the company bringing AI to data anywhere, has announced Cloudera Anywhere Cloud™, a new platform designed to help organisations build, deploy and scale production-grade data and AI applications across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.
The platform is being showcased at LEAP, Hall 3, Booth B50, and is designed to operate independently or complement existing large-scale data lakes. Cloudera Anywhere Cloud provides a unified cloud experience across environments, regardless of where enterprise data resides.
The platform combines modular agility, self-service provisioning and automated management with data control and sovereignty. Powered by Cloudera’s agentic copilot, it enables teams to automate workflows and deploy advanced AI capabilities directly against proprietary data estates without moving sensitive assets.
Cloudera said organisations across industries are under pressure to operationalise AI, but fragmented infrastructure, lengthy platform upgrade cycles and increasingly complex data sovereignty requirements continue to create barriers. Recent research cited by the company found that 73% of IT leaders believe infrastructure performance constraints have hindered operational initiatives.
Cloudera Anywhere Cloud is designed to address these challenges by bringing cloud-native agility and simplified deployment to enterprise data environments. Its modular architecture allows organisations to deploy, govern and scale independent data and AI services across public clouds, sovereign infrastructure and private data centres through a single control plane.
The platform is also designed to reduce the need for disruptive migrations and proprietary vendor lock-in, allowing organisations to move AI projects from experimentation to production while maintaining unified governance and digital sovereignty.
“Enterprise AI has outgrown the public cloud-only model. Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between innovation and control. Cloudera Anywhere Cloud brings the speed and flexibility of the cloud directly to enterprise data. This allows enterprises to accelerate AI initiatives while maintaining complete ownership of their data and intellectual property, all while optimizing the cost of their infrastructure, tokens, and business models.”
– Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer, Cloudera
Cloudera Anywhere Cloud enables organisations to accelerate AI-enhanced use cases and private or sovereign AI deployments, optimise workload placement across public clouds, sovereign infrastructure and private data centres, and maintain centralised zero-trust governance across distributed data estates.
It also supports the deployment of modular data services through self-service marketplace blueprints, including Cloudera engines such as Spark, Kafka and Trino, as well as open-source and partner engines.
The platform uses open, standards-based interoperability through Apache Iceberg, Polaris catalog and unified APIs, while its agentic copilots can translate plain-language requests into automated data workflows and infrastructure management tasks.
“Working with complex data environments every day, we know that moving from AI experimentation to production requires both the freedom to innovate and confidence that data remains governed and under our control. Cloudera Anywhere Cloud™ gives our teams a consistent foundation for data, analytics, and AI across on-premises and cloud environments. We’re excited about its potential to help us accelerate the development of agentic AI capabilities while maintaining the governance, flexibility and control required at enterprise scale.”
– Sergio Rodríguez de Guzmán, CTO and Co-Founder, IXEN.ai
Cloudera said Anywhere Cloud can transform enterprise data estates into an open marketplace ecosystem, combining self-service capabilities with automated corporate guardrails. Developers and data practitioners can use the platform’s plain-language agentic copilot to deploy first-party, partner and open-source data, analytics and AI capabilities while maintaining interoperability and inheriting enterprise governance policies for continuous compliance.
Cloudera Customer Design Partners for Anywhere Cloud include leading data-driven organisations participating in the development and validation of the platform.
